My good wife, Jacqui, left for her visit to Old Blighty at 2:30 pm today. Seamus is so depressed, he will mope for at least a week. I hope all you English types realize what a problem it is for Seamus and me to loan her to you for the next three weeks!

Kendall, Blighty survived MY wife a couple years ago. Of course, it hasn't been the same since....

Kendall, if it can survive ME and YOU at the same time, surely it can survive a native daughter for a few weeks? Now, you and Seamus...that is a different story. I assume you DO know how to run the washer and microwave? Or how to call for take away?

Loan? Loan??? You mean we have to give her back? This requires thinking about, although I hate to think of Seamus moping.

Hope she packed a canoe, it hasn't stopped raining !

If she meets two Englishmen standing together and they are not talking, it's because nobody has introduced them ! they can be a little standoffish

We hope to see her at Faldingworth Live on August 30th 2008 where she will be well looked after. We will try and get some photo's of her and post them up on here. Not the naughty ones though Kendall :-)

How nice that Jacqui can have a visit to her other home, knowing she'll be happy to come Home to her beloved Kendall soon. Likely she'll be glad to see Seamus too.

I was complaining that I have no one to play with. And with Seamus on bed rest I have only the kitties to commiserate with. BIG SIGH

Kendall.

Remember these important tips for bachelor cooking:

1. ALWAYS take the TV dinner OUT of the package before microwaving it.
2. Nontoxic in, nontoxic out.

Have you folks ever wondered how I got on before I met Jacqui?
As for laundry, I was in charge of the ship's laundry back in the mid 50's, and I did my own laundry all the years I was single too.

Food? I'm not a bad cook either.She stuffed both freezers with all kinds of food.

No problem. I can empathize with the poor thing (only mine was at L5-S1). They have him on steroids (Prednisone...it worked wonders for me) and they're hoping it will resolve on its own. He's such a sweet boy you just hate to think he doesn't feel well. He was very much enjoying the attention of my nephew's girlfriend the other day, I can tell you. Like father like dog.

Ugh, prednisone can be nasty stuff, though! I've been on it for allergic reactions before. I hope he laps up all the attention he can get and does feel better!

First report !! Jacqui has been out in the wilds of Southern England (The Prince Albert in Frieth) and met Marlow Bottom Acoustic Club .
Returned safely to Shepperton , and claims to have enjoyed the evening . She has now heard Dick Frost , Wild Flying Dove , Bubblyrat , Dave and Alison Fenner and several other Folkies of various persuasions . And I Quote - " What a Lovely Start to my trip"

Hi to all

I've finally got a PC up and working this morning.

Having had a terrific time last night - what wonderful singers they have at Marlow Bottom - I'm off to pick up the grandson and head north to Newark for the next couple of weeks, although I'm planning on taking Lewis off away on adventures during that time.

I'm hoping to try and get to Towersey on the Sunday and don't fret Liz - I shall be doing my best to get to East London at some point.

First off, I have to get orders from my daughter about where I HAVE to be at any given time (i.e. Lewis's birthday party) and then I can plan everything else.

Kendall is quite capable of coping with life on his own but I do miss both him and Seamus. Teleportation would be a great idea for me!

I didnt get there either ! Home from the Ferry Gig at 1725 , but decided that a further 80 mile round trip would NOT be a good idea !

When I lived in S. Africa we had about 65 miles (98km) each way twice a week to get to our respective morris practices. Then usually around the same if we had dance-outs.

Having got used to getting into a car and driving fairly hefty distances, I still do around 18000 miles a year. (Given the price of diesel, I am trying to cut down a bit).

Hope Jacqui is having a wonderful time. pity I won't get to thank her in person for the lovely shawl and baby blanket she has graced us with lately.
